arises. what is the cause9 Some at

most part hard and contains great deal
of alkaline matter which may perhaps
affect the skin and blood. The dust,
too. is very fine and is constantly rails
inc and settling on the skin, produc-
ing irritation of the par1e where the
pressure comes | am willing to
admit most of these reasons, but con
slider a great deal OF the trouble il at
tached to the collars, which are as a
rule too light for the draft which
is put on them The English style OF
collar for draft is not leather faced
next to the horse, but the facing used Is
manufactured expressly, and is kind
of rough cloth, the stutfing con
sjs.inp Of ''woolen waste OF
"shoddy." This forms a softer padding
to meet the horses shoulder. A sweat
pad supplies the place Of this sort OF
collar, some may say, but my experience
of sweat pads is that they generally
cause horse to sweat considerably
and do not absorb it SO readily as cloth
or frieze does | have not seen any
collars so stuffed or faced in my i'm.

is true that these collars will not last

lone ms leather and straw do; but any
harncssmaker can soon stitch on fires.

RA1sISG pork cHEAPLY.

We need more grass and clover, and
less corn. upon which to make our
pork. More grass and clover means
cheaper growth and less disease. just
as the great corn and pork producing
lands have been developed, has swine
disease sprung up and increased, be-
cause our swine are given monot-
onous diet of dry, oily food. Grass and
clover arc the foods of nature. and the
swine harvest them. They require
little preparation Of the ground for
them. and no cultivation. When
pastured they build up, rather than cX-
haust, the land; and it cannot be sue
cessfully disputed that they are essen
tial factors in the production Of the
cheapest pork. Let the pigs farroWed
in the spring be put on grass and clover
as soon as they are fit to be grazed, and
kept on them as long as they are pala'
table, and the result will be pig not
fat, but in good condition and thrifty
that until fall has large, healthy bones
and muscle and vigorous appetite
for corn. And then it may be fed corr
largely, for this will put fat on tho
large frame the pasture has made, anc
the hog is vigorous enough to digest
the corn well; and ii the hog is fattee
rapidly and marketed as soon rs fully
fat, it is the cheapest pork that can be
made-tho cheapest, not counting loss
from disease. But swine plague rarely
inyades the pastures its favorite place
of appearance is in the small lot, payec
with cobs and manure. The hog sum
mered on grass and clover is SO Yigor
orous that it rarely sickens when being
fattcued on corn largely, but also othel
food, and in clean quarters with pure
water. american Agy1cuituriSt

BIG AND LITTLE BILL.

be based upon Judgment, is sometimes
as capricious rs love, which 1t is de-
clarcd, has for its foundation sort Of
impulsivc fancy. Big Bill was almost
a giant, Little Bill was almost dwarf.
They first met at card tablc--or
rather at card cotton bale on the
Mississippi riyer-and, as they ex-
pressed it, hankered at once for each
Others society. They became so much
attached to one another that they soon
decided to settle down together, so,
building themselves n cabin in ChicOt
county, Arkansaw, they began the
business OF general merchants and
dealers in plantation supplies The
very oddity Of the firm was a valuable
advertisement, and it is well known
that negroes rode at least ten miles,
Saturday afternoons, TO deal with the
long an short o il. The sign which
read rs follows, Big Bill & Little Bill,
conveyed the only intelligence that the
community ever received with regard
TO their names, but, as people who live
in thc Mississippi river bottoms are not
curious with regard 10 the affairs Of
other men, no one showed those symp-
toms of uneasy concern which make
life i'm "a hillside village the fit abode
of BeclZcbub. OF course, some one
would occasionally ask question
something like this; SAY, did you
fcllcrs lose your other names durin the
oyerllow?' Rut about the nearest to a
satisfactory reply that was rendered
was the following answer, sometimes
delivered by the giant and sometimes
by the dwarf.
Yes; you see the water riz ON us so
fast that we didn't hayc time to get out
but few Nv our buds. and we lowed
that it would be better to load the boat
with the most necessary articles. We
did think for minute ur two that il
would bc better TO leave our dogs an
finish loadin' with out names, but
then, when we recollect what fine
critters they was ut trecn' all sorts nv
yarmints we drapped our names an
gathered up the dogs
At night the two partners would sit
in little cuddy-hole at the back end
of the store, and, smoking cob pipes
would entertain each other till bedtime
Sometimes they sang songs of lively
words but Of most dOleful tune, anC
sometimes they formed themselves into
a sort of legislature aud made speeches
ON the condition Of the country.
Fen years ut least were passed in this
way, and not difference of opinion
sufficient to cause the slightest jar oc-
Cured between the partners. SOME
of their customers declared that such

Omen's Work in SNriA

Thore are grand women in Arabia:
women ofability, keen insight and won
derful capabilities The duties of the
wife of Syrian to-day are as follows:
She brings all the water for family use
from distant well; this is accomplished
by filling immense jars. and bringing
them upon her head. She rises early and
goes to the handmil of the village
carrying corn, enough of which for the
days bread she grind~ by slow. labo-
riOus process. This she carries home and
cooks in an oven which is made in the
earth. 1t is a round hole. lined with
oval and fiat stones and heated by fire
built in it. When the bread is mixed
with water and little salt She removes
the ashes and plastcI~ little pats Of dough
against the hot stones to cook Could
anything be more crude
She cares for her childrcm-u>uallv a
large famiIy--and does all the rough work
